Installing Software for the Solaris OS

The HBA driver is included in the Solaris 10 6/06 (s10u2) release, at minimum. This

Solaris 10 6/06 release, and later releases, require nothing from the user.

Solaris 10 1/06 (s10u1) is required to support the HBA on minimum supported

versions of Solaris for x64/x86 systems. If you are using the Solaris 10 1/06 release,

install patch 120222-21 or 120223-21 to install the HBA driver. Patches are available

at http://sunsolve.sun.com.
